| OXYNATORtm
includes a regulator, hose and 316 stainless steel
diffusion stone. You only have to give your wort two 15
second shots of oxygen to a 5 - 6 gallon batch to
properly oxygenate the wort. Using the OXYNATORtm
brings state of the art brewing techniques to the home
brewer.
Adding 99.9%
oxygen with the OXYNATORtm, you will kick-start
your fermentation. Two short bursts
from the OXYNATORtm will increase the
efficiency of your yeast, giving them the strength to
finish the job. The OXYNATORtm helps prevent a
sluggish start, creating strong healthy yeast that are
ready to ferment the wort cleanly and quickly. Using
the OXYNATORtm will result in a
cleaner, crisper and drier beer.

| Using the
OXYNATORtm Before using, boil
the diffusion stone for 15 minutes to sanitize. Connect
one end of the plastic hose to the stone and the other
end to the regulator attached to the tank. Just prior to pitching your yeast,
lower the stone into the cooled wort and open the valve
for approximately 15 seconds then shut it off.
After the foam settles, repeat the procedure.
Remove the OXYNATORtm and
pitch your yeast as usual. That's all there is to it.
See how
easy it is to introduce 99.9% oxygen to your wort by
using the OXYNATORtm?
By using
the OXYNATORtm your fermentation will finish
faster and end with a lower final specific gravity
because the yeast will have had the energy
needed to ferment all of the available sugars.

Oxygen is life
to your yeast! In the fermentation vessel, oxygen
energizes the yeast to quickly and efficiently consume
the wort sugars, preventing a slow and sluggish
fermentation.
Most home
brewers oxygenate their wort by shaking and letting the
air (only 21% oxygen) in the head space absorb into
solution. These oxygen deprived yeast may start fine but
may fail to develop the energy needed to complete a
healthy ferment. The most notable result is a sweet and
heavy taste to the beer due to the slow, sluggish
fermentation and/or high finishing gravity. Instead of
the 1.008 to 1.012 final gravity possible with the
oxynator (typical of lighter beers), a final
gravity greater than 1.015 is not uncommon with air only.
